All Things Are In God, And God Is In All Things
The existence of all created things is His [God's] existence... Thou dost not see, in this world or the next, anything beside God. God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.
-- Ibn Al-'Arabi (1165-1240), Spanish Sufi mystic
God is everywhere and is everywhere complete. Only God flows into all things, their very essences… God is in the innermost part of each and every thing.
-- Meister Eckhart (1260-1328), Christian mystic
"In Him [God] we live and move and have our being."
-- The Apostle Paul (Acts 17:28), quoting (favorably) the Pagan poet Epimenides of Crete
Jesus said, "I am the light above everything. I am everything. Everything came forth from me, and everything reached me. Split wood, I am there. Lift up a rock, you will find me there."
-- The Gospel of Thomas, verse 77

Darrell,
I love to sit awhile and drink in these messages. They are inherently so profound, and when I am very quiet, I hear and know this truth deep in my core. It is like love kindling within.
Thank you,and bless you,
